Chapter 3

After dealing with the guards at the door, Lin Yu swapped for a long sword and killed all the Celestial Dragon guards stationed elsewhere in the palace.

Only then did he return to the banquet hall entrance and push the door open.

"Tsk tsk tsk, isn't that the Queen of the Kachinobu Kingdom."

"Celestial Dragons, they really know how to play!!!"

Walking through the door, Lin Yu clicked his tongue in wonder as he saw the Queen, half-clothed, lying at Rosward's feet.

Beside Rosward, the Prime Minister's wife was pale, clearly not expecting the Celestial Dragons to be so unscrupulous.

In the center of the dance floor, Charlos was playing a game of cat and mouse among the noblewomen, biting whoever he caught.

The victims, including the King of Kachinobu, could only kneel in the corner of the hall, watching their wives and daughters being molested by the Celestial Dragons.

"It really is absurd... I'm so envious."

Locking the door, Lin Yu shook his head and walked toward Charlos.

"Who are you?"

"Is she your wife?"

"Let me use her first."

Charlos was hugging a noblewoman and biting her. Seeing Lin Yu come over, he raised his snot-nosed, idiotic face and asked blankly.

"Lord Charlos, watch out!" A CP0 agent, seeing Lin Yu suddenly appear beside Charlos, was terrified.

Swish!

Lin Yu swung his sword.

Thud!

Charlos's head flew off in disbelief and hit the ground with a thud.

"..."

For a moment, the banquet hall went silent; you could hear a pin drop.

"Ah!!!"

"Ah!!!!"

The noblewoman in Charlos's arms was drenched in blood, screamed, and fainted. Then, even louder screams erupted among the other noblewomen.

The noblewomen looked at Lin Yu as if looking at a demon, screaming loudly; the scene turned chaotic.

"Catch him!"

The Celestial Dragon guards surrounded Lin Yu, preparing to capture this bold villain.

"Shave!"

"Finger Pistol!"

"Tempest Kick!"

Three CP0 agents appeared behind Lin Yu in an instant, launching attacks at him.

A flash of sword light passed through Lin Yu's hand, and two severed arms and one severed leg flew out.

Next came three heads with expressions of disbelief.

Among the CP0 members, some were strong and some were weak; the strong ones were not much worse than an Emperor's Admiral, while the weak ones were only at the level of ordinary CP9.

And those sent to protect the Charlos family were clearly the latter.

"Charlos..."

Rosward looked at the brutally murdered Charlos, his face turning ashen, and he crushed the small Den Den Mushi in his hand.

"I'll send you to see him."

The next second, Lin Yu appeared beside Rosward and swung his sword.

Ten minutes later, Lin Yu had slaughtered all the Celestial Dragon guards and CP0 agents.

The nobles and noblewomen of the Kachinobu Kingdom were also knocked unconscious by him; these people would be his important bargaining chips.

Carrying the heads of Rosward and Charlos, Lin Yu walked toward the second floor of the banquet hall.

"Lady Shalria, I'm coming." ===== CHAPTER 6 =====

Shalria

"Lady Shalria, please, don't!"

"Don't, don't!"

Princess Anna, tied to a torture rack, looked at the branding iron in Shalria's hand, her face pale with terror.

Her ornate clothes were torn, and her body was covered in whip marks; she had clearly been tortured quite badly by Shalria.

"Hehe, Princess Anna, this is my reward for you."

"What? Do you dare to defy my orders?"

Shalria waved the branding iron in front of Princess Anna's pretty face, smiling.

"No, I wouldn't dare..."

Princess Anna stared at the branding iron waving before her eyes, trembling all over.

Bang!

The door to the room was kicked open, and Lin Yu walked in, carrying two heads.

"Lady Shalria, this is a gift for you."

After speaking, Lin Yu tossed the heads of Rosward and Charlos to Shalria.

"Father..."

Seeing the heads of her father and brother in her hands, Shalria rolled her eyes and fainted on the spot.

Fainting along with her was Princess Anna, who had been scared unconscious by the branding iron that Shalria had dropped at her feet.

"Tsk tsk tsk, these Celestial Dragons really do know how to play."

Lin Yu examined the tied-up Princess Anna, clicking his tongue in wonder.

Princess Anna's clothes were torn, yet they still covered the important parts; her fair skin, paired with the bloody whip marks, had a strange beauty and temptation.

[Name: Anna]

[Identity: Princess]

[Special Skill: None]

[Talent: Endurance]

[Friendliness: -50]

[Combat Power: No Star Rating]

[Endurance: Doubles the duration of all skills]

Investigating Anna's information, Lin Yu glanced at the unconscious woman and nodded.

She was indeed quite good at enduring.

Moreover, this skill, combined with his Telepathy—reducing consumption, reducing cooldowns, increasing duration—tsk tsk tsk, it was invincible.

Next, he looked at the Celestial Dragon Shalria.

[Name: Shalria]

[Identity: World Noble]

[Special Skill: Authoritative Training]

[Talent: None]

[Friendliness: -200]

[Combat Power: No Star Rating]

[Authoritative Training: Allows those with lower strength and status to gradually submit to oneself]

"Tsk, this skill seems quite good."

"Combined with my Crew-Crew Fruit, it's quite suitable for snatching people."

Looking at the information for Anna and Shalria, Lin Yu smiled slightly.

Shalria was a character who appeared in the original work and was a special crew member herself, but he hadn't expected Anna to possess a special talent that also met the requirements for a special crew member.

Afterward, Lin Yu left the palace and rushed toward the Celestial Dragon's ship, using the remaining time to kill the few remaining guards.

Only then did he return to the kingdom and come to the second floor of the banquet hall.

"Next, let's see what effect this 'one-point connection' will have." ===== CHAPTER 7 =====

Watching Princess Anna and Shalria gradually wake up, Lin Yu smiled slightly.

"You... you actually dared to kill Celestial Dragons..."

Princess Anna, just waking up, looked at the two Celestial Dragon heads on the floor in disbelief.

"So what if I killed them?"

With that, Lin Yu walked toward Princess Anna.

"No, don't kill me."

Looking at the blood-dripping long sword in Lin Yu's hand, Princess Anna's face turned pale, and she begged loudly.

"Princess, if you want to live, you must obey my orders, understand?"

Swinging his sword to cut the chains binding Anna, Lin Yu looked at her with a smile, slowly sliding the long sword from her smooth throat downward.

"I'll definitely be obedient, I'll definitely be obedient..."

Anna trembled all over, glanced at the long sword in Lin Yu's hand, and nodded hurriedly.

"Anna, are you willing to join my pirate crew and become my subordinate?"

Lin Yu chuckled and issued an invitation to Anna.

This was a hard requirement for recruiting people; only then would the Crew-Crew Fruit acknowledge Anna's status as a crew member.

"I am willing." Anna nodded hurriedly.

[Ding! Anna has joined the crew. The pirate crew is officially established. Please select Anna's crew position]

[Combatant/Cook/Ship Doctor... Handyman]

"Handyman!"

Lin Yu didn't even think about it and made Anna a handyman.

"Alright, since the ceremony is complete, let's get to the main point of 'one-point connection'."

"You should know what to do, Princess Anna."

After Lin Yu finished speaking, he sat on a chair nearby.

Anna's pretty face turned deathly pale; she trembled all over, crawled onto the floor, and crawled to Lin Yu's feet.

Exhaling a long breath, Lin Yu couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

Watching Princess Anna, who had looked at him like a maggot during the day and was as proud as a peacock, now crawling at his feet like a dog.

A sense of indescribable pleasure rose in Lin Yu's heart.

[Ding! Successfully formed a bond with Anna, obtained her ability: Endurance]

Hearing the system prompt, Lin Yu was stunned, then couldn't help but laugh.

"So this is how a bond is formed."

"Then my future goals are very clear."

"Robin, Nami, Hancock, Tashigi, Yamato, Smoothie..."

Thinking of the various beautiful, unique, and powerful women in the pirate world, the corners of Lin Yu's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

Next, Lin Yu pushed Anna away and walked toward the unconscious Shalria.

Since being intimate with Anna could form a bond, he naturally wouldn't let go of Shalria, the Celestial Dragon.

Her skill was very compatible with his Devil Fruit ability, so he naturally had to get his hands on it.

Arriving beside Shalria, Lin Yu raised his right hand.

Slap! Slap!

Two clear palm prints appeared on both cheeks of the unconscious Shalria.

Anna, seeing Lin Yu's actions, trembled all over and then grabbed Lin Yu's discarded coat to cover herself.

Seeing the palm prints on Shalria's face and thinking of what the woman had just done to her, Anna felt a sense of pleasure for no reason.

[Ding! Anna's friendliness toward the host increased by 10, currently 10, Qi and Blood +1/hour]

Lin Yu narrowed his eyes and gave the still-unconscious Shalria two more slaps.

[Ding! Anna's friendliness toward the host increased by 5, currently 15, Qi and Blood +1/hour]

"Uh..."

Shalria woke up faintly, turned her head, saw the heads of her father and brother, rolled her eyes, and fainted again.

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow and raised his right hand again.

Slap! Slap!

[Ding! Anna's friendliness toward the host increased by 3, currently 18, Qi and Blood +1/hour]

Shalria woke up again.

Slap! Slap!

[Ding! Anna's friendliness toward the host increased by 2, currently 20, Qi and Blood +2/hour]

Shalria: "..."

The awakened Shalria clutched her face, completely stunned by Lin Yu's beating, her face full of disbelief.

"Ah..."

"Don't, don't hit me anymore."

Seeing Lin Yu raise his right hand again, Shalria could no longer hold on and knelt before Lin Yu, begging.

"Shalria, are you willing to join my pirate crew and become my subordinate?"

Lin Yu patted Shalria's pretty face with his long sword, smiling.

It was exactly the same smile Shalria had worn when she held the branding iron to Anna.

"I am willing."

Watching the long sword constantly wandering over her body, Shalria's face turned pale, and she nodded repeatedly.

[Ding! Shalria has joined the crew. Please select Shalria's crew position]

Lin Yu chose handyman again.

Only a position like handyman fit Princess Anna's status and Shalria's status as a World Noble.

"Here, this special necklace is for you."

Lin Yu took a collar from the side and helped Shalria put it on.

Shalria trembled slightly, not daring to resist.

Afterward, Anna rushed over, held Shalria down, and said excitedly to Lin Yu:

"My lord, I'll help you."

Lin Yu: "..." ===== CHAPTER 8 =====
